old love [rebirth]

"Are you still playing games?" Chen Lou looked at the person opposite, somewhat surprised: "Isn't the life of a graduate student very busy?"

Two days ago, he met a fellow villager and friend, Lu Zhecheng's classmate, in the city.At the beginning, Chen Lou didn't dare to recognize him. Later, the other party greeted him first, and after some explanations, he realized that this person flew over from thousands of miles away to meet Ji.

Of course, the more surprising thing is that the base is red hair.

Lu Zhe is a good adult, and he is still Chen Lou's neighbor, but when he was young, he was kicked out of the first grade by his parents who expected his son to become a dragon before he went to kindergarten. Therefore, although he was about the same age as Chen Lou, he was always one level higher than Chen Lou.

Children with big farts take their grades seriously, and always feel that those in the younger grades are all children, and there is a generation gap.In the end, it was time for the two of them to play together again in high school. Chen Lou borrowed a Taiwanese version of "Zhu Xian" from a classmate. The two of them ran back and forth to borrow a copy of "Zhu Xian". Come and borrow, just broke through the grade barrier and became good friends again.

Later, Lu Zhecheng graduated a year earlier and stayed at the provincial university in the province, and then stayed in the school after taking the postgraduate entrance examination, while Chen Lou passed the examination in City C. The two of them met to eat and play cards together when they returned to their hometown during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, in the previous life, the two of them didn't meet much. Chen Lou didn't go back to his hometown very often. The last contact with Lu Zhecheng was when his grandma passed away.It was very late when Chen Lou got the news. Thanks to the righteousness of his friend Lu Zhecheng, he took care of many things for him.

Now I didn't expect to bump into him on the road, Chen Lou asked questions, and was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't play all the time," Lu Zhecheng also said with a smile, "Isn't this a holiday? I just play and relax occasionally. Oh, right, you won't be going home this year?"

"I won't go back. I'm taking advantage of the holidays to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination." Chen Lou sighed when he mentioned this, raised his eyes and asked, "How was your English when you took the postgraduate entrance examination last year? I've only read it for less than two months now and I'm a little Tired. My mind is still foggy."

"I passed 68 in the English test," Lu Zhecheng said. "This exceeded expectations, but I didn't do well in the political test. I just passed the line."

Chen Lou's eyes widened when he heard the score. He wasn't in school very often. Although the students around him also took the postgraduate entrance examination, most of them signed up in September, and now they have finished the exam.This is the first time to face Xueba face to face.

English has always been his weak point, and now, although he has postponed the two policy schools for a year, he has enough time to read textbooks and handouts, and can absorb some of the content, but English is still a terrible headache.Words have to be memorized every day, and if you don’t memorize them for a day, it’s like you’re off your medicine. The manager Chen Lou spends on this is about to catch up with Xi Zong.

Lu Zhecheng was also very happy. He summed up his experience and lessons when he took the English test, and told Chen Lou some useful books that he still remembered. When he finished talking about the rhythm of the test, he saw that Chen Lou was still busy with his head down. Recorded on the phone, smiled and said: "You really can endure hardship."

Chen Lou looked up at him, smiled and said nothing.

Lu Zhecheng said to him again: "Look at you when you were in high school, you were fooling around, there was no one in the whole school that you could play around with, scumbag games and gang fights, hooking up with little girls across grades, wives and concubines clustered together with brothers, and your grades went up and down. I don’t know how many times I let the little leather shoes break my heart.”

They all had the habit of calling their teachers nicknames. The little leather shoes were Chen Lou's class teacher, and Chen Lou was the one they looked down on the most at the time.

Chen Lou's impression of this teacher has not improved so far. Seeing that the other party seemed to continue to express emotion, he smiled and said, "Don't slander me. When did I hook up with a little girl? I haven't even touched the little girl's hand."

Seeing that Lu Zhecheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, he was a little speechless, and asked, "You came here this time to meet netizens?"

"That's right," Lu Zhecheng said, "A well-operated Acacia, but I didn't expect to be a non-mainstream brat."

"Hey, did you hear that, you're a brat!" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this sentence, and poked his red hair on his stomach, "And this man...isn't tall. "

"What's wrong with not being tall?" Hongmao also lay on his stomach, and retorted disapprovingly: "I'm not tall, and I'm 1.7 meters tall, which is considered average."

"Yes, average." Guan Yu was also surprised when he saw the face. He felt a bit like a male star surnamed Wu, but when he looked down at the man's body, he showed disdain: "Morning If I knew it was like this, I wouldn’t come out, I thought it was superfluous.”

He always murmured that Hongmao had excitedly pulled him to see his handsome netizen, but now he was uncomfortable being picked on all the time, so he couldn't help but choked back: "What's wrong with this? Besides, it doesn't matter to you even if you have three heads and six arms, worry." It should also be that Lu Hening is in a hurry, you are also known as the one who is not righteous."

"..." Guan Yu opened his mouth, he was stunned for a while, and after a while he said angrily, "Leave me alone!"

"Here he is!" Hong Mao threw the crossbody bag to him, "I don't need to put it in my place from now on. Brother Chen is optimistic that the house will be moved out. When the time comes, ask me to look for him again. I can't find him."

"Move away?" Guan Yu asked, "Why do you want to move away?"

"How do I know? He said, either he will move or I will move, but if he leaves, I have to give him the rest of the rent and deposit."

"Then you move," Guan Yu yelled. Seeing someone looking over, he quickly lowered his body and said in a low voice, "He doesn't have any money on him. How can it be so appropriate for you to let him go out to find a house? There are at least half more people with unfurnished furniture than he does now."

When this old house was first rented out, it was divided into six rooms, and the configuration was not necessary, so the rent allocated to a single room was very cheap.

Now that Guan Yu has bought furniture and home appliances by himself, all aspects are very convenient. After all, living here can save half of the money compared to other places.What's more, Chen Lou has always wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Guan Yu didn't say anything else, but he also knew that it would be best for him to have a relatively quiet environment.When Chen Lou goes out to rent a house with someone, he doesn't necessarily understand the other person's temperament. It would cost too much for him to rent a house by himself.

After all, there is still a whole year between now and his exam.

Hongmao felt aggrieved, and muttered, "I didn't drive him away. He offered to leave, and he checked the house in advance..."

"...He is really embarrassed, how could he drive you away after buying so much furniture?" Guan Yu clicked his tongue, stretched out his hand and pushed him on the head: "I don't care, you have to find a way, go You can only leave. Besides, Chen Lou is impatient, no matter what reason you find in these two days, you have to get this matter done."

Guan Yu thought for a while, and said cruelly: "If you want to do it, I will give you great medicine."

He had to save his money now, and when he looked at his small bag, he couldn't help feeling a little pained.

"... rich," Hong Mao didn't know what to say, clicked his tongue and gave a thumbs up, "willful."

Guan Yu sneaked out, and he had to go back after staying for a while.When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but look back at the ghost king, feeling refreshed immediately.

Lu Zhecheng had already seen him, and asked Chen Lou, "Do you know that person?"

Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, "Which one?" He turned his head, just in time to see Guan Yu's back slipping out the door, and the little windbreaker fluttered a bit.

"I don't know," Chen Lou clicked his tongue in disgust, and said, "How many days are you playing here? Do you want me to take you around?"

"There are still three or four days," Lu Zhecheng said, "Not necessarily."

He said not necessarily, after Chen Lou went back, he still made a strategy to see where the outsiders would go if they came over.Many scenic spots in the later generations have not been planned yet, and since Chen Lou rushed to two small parks with beautiful scenery, he found that there were still broken walls and tiles there, and he didn't go out much.

Chen Lou memorized a few places, made a simple one-day travel plan, and talked to Lu Zhecheng before going to bed, who knew that when he woke up the next day, the latter suddenly made a plan for the itinerary.

"I'm leaving today," Lu Zhecheng said, "I have something to do temporarily."

Chen Lou was surprised, but he didn't want to inquire about it, so he could only ask him, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"...Yes," Lu Zhecheng coughed, and said, "Wei Geng is coming with me, he said he wanted you to do me a favor."

Chen Lou reacted for a long time and didn't understand who Wei Geng was, until there was silence for a while, and a hoarse voice came: "Brother...Brother Chen..."

Chen Lou: "..." Red hair?Normally, the red hair is used to brothers coming and going, but this voice...

The red hair hissed, took a sip of water from Lu Zhecheng's hand, slurred a bit, and continued to talk to Chen Lou in a hoarse voice: "I won't live there anymore."

Hearing all kinds of strange voices over there, Chen Lou had an unbelievable guess in his heart, but when he thought about it, he felt a little unbelievable.Hearing what Hongmao said now, he paused for a moment and was too embarrassed to ask why.I'm afraid that if I don't think about it, I won't be able to step down there.

Hongmao continued: "Can I store the things in my house for now... I will move out when I come back."

"Oh..." Chen Lou paused, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"He went to a winter camp with me," Lu Zhecheng took over and said solemnly, "Let's put the things in his house away first. I'll send you Ye Yongzhen and Zhang Mansheng's books after I go back. Just don't buy it now. That's right," he thought for a while and said, "I'm going home for the Chinese New Year, do you want to bring something back?"

Chen Lou hadn't reacted for a while, but only came back to his senses when he heard the last sentence: "Yes, yes, when is your plane? I'll send you the things."

Lu Zhecheng's itinerary was a hasty decision. Chen Lou went to the mall non-stop to buy some health care products, packed a few bags of middle-aged and elderly black sesame powder, walnut powder, soy milk powder, and finally rushed to the third floor to buy for his grandma. A new suit.

Years of difficult choices disappeared in an instant, Chen Lou was anxious, and when he didn't know how to choose, he took a few of each item, and when choosing clothes, he picked the most expensive and warmest ones in the store.After snapping up all the way like this, I rushed to the airport at lightning speed, and I was not late.

Lu Zhecheng was waiting for him in the airport hall, and the two of them went to the packing place to pack a box and check it in. Chen Lou felt a little embarrassed, but was really happy in his heart.

"Go home and have a look if you have time," Lu Zhecheng said with a smile, "Avoid the Spring Festival travel rush, find a small vacation in March and April, and go to the Provincial University to find me after getting off the train or plane. Let my dad take us back together."

"Okay, I'll trouble you when the time comes," Chen Lou pursed his lips and smiled, rubbed his hands together, then took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Give this to my grandma, I'm afraid Wang Gufen won't be able to withhold the money." For her use, all the money in it has been exchanged for change, and there are all denominations, so she won't be reluctant to spend it."

"Okay," Lu Zhecheng smiled, "I'll give my grandma New Year's greetings first when I go back, take care of yourself here, and call me if you need anything."

Chen Lou nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Zhecheng also said: "Don't put too much pressure on the postgraduate entrance examination. Believe in yourself. When there are still two months before the exam, I will introduce you to an English sprint class. The test questions are quite accurate, don't worry."

"Okay," Chen Lou heard the announcement from the airport, paused, and said again: "Okay."

I didn't feel much when we met, but now that we are leaving, the faint brotherhood and fellowship surged up, and the people who were blocked layer by layer felt uncomfortable.

In the previous life, after Chen Lou and Guan Yu were together, they basically blocked contact with other acquaintances.The relationship between the two of them was okay when they were in college, and their classmates and friends were still innocent, at most they thought they were brothers who hit it off.But once a person enters the society, with complicated information and wide contacts, suspicion will inevitably arise after getting along for a long time.

Chen Lou pays great attention to this aspect, and rarely goes to Guan Yu's company, and occasionally meets Guan Yu and his colleagues on the road, and he tries to avoid it in advance.I'm afraid they have some intimate gestures and eyes, and I didn't notice it, but I left something for others to talk about.In addition, he seldom contacted his former classmates and friends. He didn't know how to answer the other party's kind inquiries. He didn't want to tell lies, but he didn't have the courage to tell the truth.Therefore, during his most painful days, there was no one to talk to.

Chen Lou knew in his heart that he himself was going to extremes during that time.

To put it bluntly, it doesn’t even have much to do with Guan Yu, it’s not Guan Yu, it could be Zhao Yu, Qian Yu, Sun Yu, Li Yu, as long as he is too focused on another person in his relationship, then it’s easy to love deeply, crawl The height, the fall was hard, and the injury was serious.Chen Lou's initial feelings were pure and strong, but he isolated himself prematurely, so that when he reached a desperate situation, he realized in a daze that he had already turned into a siege, but was isolated and helpless.

When Lu Zhecheng passed the security check for the last time, Chen Lou saw Hongmao.Fortunately, the latter looked very good, and when he was queuing at the security checkpoint, he suddenly ran back and gave him a hug.

"Brother, I'm going to visit our grandma too." Hongmao smiled happily, scratched his head and then said, "That house, actually, Brother Guan asked me to rent it... This time I changed the place and it was also at his request. , of course, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t plan to live outside… I said this just to say that although Brother Guan is not a very good guy, don’t think too badly… He knows you are annoying him. Brother Guan is going on a business trip for a few days, and he didn't come out to make troubles, just because he didn't want to offend you."

Chen Lou didn't know what to say for a while, and finally smiled and said, "Thank you."

Hongmao grinned: "Thank you, don't say anything else, we are all fine."

Chen Lou waited until everyone was gone, and then slowly came back to his senses, bowed his head and smiled.When he came, he took a taxi in a hurry. When he returned, he relaxed and bought a ticket to take the airport bus.

At this time, the airport in City C has not yet been expanded, and there are not many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road. There are people in the bus in twos and threes, some sitting and resting with their eyes closed, some happily discussing the journey with their companions, and some silently swiping their phones , I don't know what I'm busy with.

Chen Lou leaned on the back of the plastic bus seat and turned his head to look outside. He couldn't see the setting sun in his direction, he could only see the light dimming. As the speed of the car accelerated, they disappeared into the gradually thick night.

The winter in City C is not comfortable, at least for Chen Lou, even though he has lived in this city for many years, the humidity is still unbearable.After Hongmao left, he was the only one left at home. Chen Lou checked the weather outside every day when he got up, and he didn't even go out of the house unless the sun was shining early in the morning.

After getting up in the morning, he routinely memorized words. His previous method of memorizing was a bit boring. Lu Zhecheng gave him a trick and told him how to sift down layer by layer. After a few days of trying, the efficiency has indeed improved a lot.

It's just that eating is a problem. Chen Lou is a bit of a procrastinator. If he has been doing the questions until noon, he will procrastinate and don't want to eat after 12 o'clock.Sometimes I order takeaway when I’m hungry at night, and sometimes I just eat some bread when I’m not particularly hungry.

His own life was dark and gloomy, with his head covered for many days, he would read when he woke up, and sleep when he was sleepy. During this period, Lu Hening came to him twice, and seeing his state, he couldn't help being a little worried.

"You'd better find someone to come and accompany you," Lu Hening said, "When you are alone, you don't want to eat, and it will be better if you have a companion."

"I know," Chen Lou clicked his tongue and said, "It means that there are too many pigs scrambling for food!"

"...You have so many fallacies," Lu Hening looked at him helplessly: "Otherwise, I will come and check regularly in the future, and don't care about anything else, as long as there are fewer things in the kitchen."

When he came for the first time, he still brought a bottle of red wine, but when he came for the second time, he went straight to the soy sauce, vinegar and chicken stock, as well as some vegetables and meat.

Chen Lou was really afraid that he would come every day, so he stopped him with a cry: "Don't, I'm comfortable here by myself, and if it's not suitable for you to come, how inconvenient is it for me?"

"What's inconvenient?" Lu Hening looked at him suspiciously: "Girlfriend or boyfriend?"

Chen Lou didn't know how to answer properly, so he typed haha.Lu Hening finally hesitated to speak, and sighed.

At the end of the year, their catering industry is very busy. Various banquets are invited, and friends gather for dinner. Their restaurant has launched a set menu for New Year's Eve dinner, and it is available for people to make reservations in advance.Lu Hening, a foreman on the second floor, can't take care of it now. Sometimes he passes the dishes, sometimes withdraws the table, and sometimes he goes to the back kitchen to make a start.

However, Chen Lou restrained himself a little when he came here. Apart from not washing his hair or taking a bath for a few days, he could barely eat at a fixed time.

When Wu Jiajia called again, it was already the eve of New Year's Eve. Chen Lou thought that many stores would not be open during the Chinese New Year, so he went to purchase a circle of food reserves, from bread and instant noodles to pickled vegetables and ham. The styles were single but the quantity was huge enough.Most of the shops on the road are closed, and there are couplets and lanterns hanging on the facades, looking beaming.

Chen Lou was carrying a lot of things, and he didn't hear the phone in his pocket. After he got home and put down his things, he discovered that Wu Jiajia had made three missed calls.

It seems urgent.

Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dialed.The mobile phone was connected in almost a second, and Wu Jiajia had just fed him, and it was replaced by Cen Zheng.

"Chen Lou, are you in City C?"

Hearing his eagerness, Chen Lou hurriedly said, "I'm here."

"Then can you help me find Guan Yu?" Cen Zheng said, "Guan Yu is gone."
